Elijah after taunting them when the baal were earnestly trying to please there God and trying to pray so that their God can do something .When nothing happend

After that Elijah has also prepared for the Alter and the alter is full of water that can be clearly read on 1st King ch:18. The wood is so wet as the water is floating there we can read there.

The Bull was also laid on the alter and as Elijah bowed down before the ALmighty to pray that let everyone know that you are the only God . Then the fire of the Lord consumed the Alter the Stone and the dust.

When the People saw this they fell on the ground to accept only HE IS LORD.

I think by this we can just imagine what would be the condition of King Ahab how he would be bowind down before the Lord Almighty.

As when the the prayer by the baal is going on Elijah started taunting them fearlessly. This may have irritated them for a while but in turn they must have started calling their God with more powerful and full strength they have.

Still nothing happend. The ELijah again taunted them saying where is your God , Is he sleeping? etc. This word must have again irritated them . While taunting them .

While this is happening on the other side he prepared and alter and told the people to pour four filled jars or water and keep on filling it with water till the water ran around the alter.

Here while taunting he made to do the work also so that tomorrow no one can stand and say we didn’t touched and that was done by somebody so how come we know that whether it is real or not?.

As the 450 Prophets of baal got together at the Mt. Carmel and as agreed 2 bulls of the peoples choice were selected and an alter was made . Elijah tells them to choose first and prepare for alter. As agreed all the baal prophets choosed and they made it ready for the alter

and stated praying and worshiping the baal. As they did Elijah didn’t sit back quietly . He TAUNTED them and asked where is your GOD?.

We can see here the courage of Elijah . A fearless Prophet. as King is also there and seeing it and this prophet taunting all the prophets of God as in verse 27 he said cry aloud for he is god, either he is musing or he is reliving himself or he is in a journey or he is asleep.

See how much he taunted the baal prophet. Just Imagine the situation where Prohet Elijah is standing. see the courage, the strength, the faith that he carries.

Imagine when the ruling Government is against him and searching for him and still he is fearless and obeying God’s commands,just image How strong his belief is and how daring is HE to face the rulling Government of the King.

King Got tired searching for him that’s why the king when he met with all anger and everything which had hidden in his heart with all he said “Are you the troubler of Israel”

This clearly shows whatever anguish and pain the King was carrying in heart and his inability to stay in the Palace the climateic changes the King was facing can be read clearly.

To the People he said to not to follow the baal and follow the God’s command.

Since it was difficult for Elijah to gain trust so he told King Ahab to gather all 450 prophets at Mount Carmel

In continuation to the previous post. Elijah was the only prophet who followed God’s commands and told king Ahab and people who followed baal to turn from their doings and call God Almighty.

As the King Ahab was also in search of Elijah for 3 and half years and as instead of living in his palace and doing business and concentrating on his kingdom. King Ahab had to left his palace in search of Prophet Elijah.

On Seeing him the

as the verse says in 1st king ch18:17

“Is that you the troubler of Israel”.

See How much the King Ahab is troubled in finding Prophet Elijah.

And How Prophet Elijah is imp. for God as God has to protect him and hide him .

We can see here how Elijah is protected under the Mighty Hands of God when other prophets were hiding in the cave .

Peace is what everyone is searching these days. But no one is getting it. The reason behind it is that we are not fearing God and not mending our ways according to the Bible and hence our day to day life gets diverted and we are ready to do everything without fear.

Bible says that in Matthew ch6:24

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

But this has become easy now. On Sunday when we are inside the Church we serve God and after coming out we server mammon.

Aren’t we expert in doing both the things at the same time.

Bible says you cannot server two Masters and Our day to day life and the practices we adopt is proving something other and challenging God that , O God! your Bible is wrong. The Print is wrong. You said it is not possible to server two master but that we are proving everyday .
